Traveling is great but every single person that often flies knows how boring it can be. This is especially true when looking at the really long flights. Do you want to travel from Australia to the US or from Eastern Europe to South America? This is when you spend hours in a position that is not that comfortable.
While in-flight entertainment options advanced a lot in the past few years, for most travelers there is not much to do. With this in mind, here are some suggestions that you surely want to consider. After all, every suggestion can be wonderful.
Coloring
Many think that coloring is just for children. This is definitely not the case. What you want to do is go out or look online so you can buy a coloring book intended for adult use. Obviously, you will need crayons too. However, all this is really cheap. You want to give it a try since once you get started, it is so hard to stop. Designs are more intricate, more challenging, and you can so easily feel entertained.
Watch Movies/Videos
This is something you most likely already expect to do on a plane but available choices are highly limited. With this in mind, you do want to prepare and download videos in advance so you can watch them during flight. This is possible through different options. Movies can nowadays be downloaded for offline viewing from different sources. You can also learn how to download a video from a website for future viewing during your trip with software like Movavi Screen Recorder.
Obviously, you can also opt for in-flight television/movies. If this is the only option available for you and you love watching movies, at least learn all that you can about what will be offered. You may want to choose the airline based on what you would be offered in terms of in-flight entertainment.
Using Smartphone Or Tablet Apps
Some time ago you were not allowed to use your phone while flying but this did change. Now you can have a lot of fun with a smartphone or a tablet. Some days before the trip, download fun apps. You want to choose those that do not need to be connected to the internet in order to work. For instance, there are countless offline puzzle apps that are offering hours of fun time.
Listen To Music
It is interesting to notice that most people do not even consider this option. While in-flight entertainment sometimes offers some sort of music, you can always just download the songs that you love and listen to them. This is really easy to do through services like Spotify or by simply directly downloading the preferred music from sites that allow this. You can easily listen to music and hours of flight time would disappear. Alternatively, listen to saved audiobooks.
Read books
Speaking about books, why not doing this as you travel? It is not at all difficult to just have a book on the plan. If you do not want to have books on the trip, ebooks are available. Many apps give you access to thousands of books so you can just download some before your flight, then read them during it.
